OpenAI Cuts Cursor Over Musk Takeover | US News

from US News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

OpenAI just cut off access to Cursor, the popular AI coding tool now owned by Elon Musk’s SpaceX — sparking a major tech showdown between Sam Altman and Musk. After SpaceX acquired Cursor in June, OpenAI claims X (formerly Twitter) violated their contract, triggering a “change of control” clause that lets them terminate the service by November 2026. Cursor, which blends SpaceXAI with models from Anthropic and Google, now faces a seismic shift as this dispute escalates into a full-blown rivalry reshaping the AI landscape.
